| Active or passive? Infection, Yes I've heard many of their models over the years. They are intriguing speakers, but not my cup of tea. George, what I meant is that there are some active speakers I"ve listened to that I didn't like the voicing. Even in passive mode ... | |
| Active or passive? Great thead. I owned the Vandersteen Treo's for a few years after many with Proacs (various ones). I went through a few amps with the various Proacs from Quicksilver tubes to higher end NAD to a few others along the way. I have heard many of th... | |
| New Speaker Conundrum - Vandy's, Spendors, Salk, Ascend - Mainstream or ID Late to the party. Been down hard with the MS stuff. Bob bought my Treo's. I still LOVE them. They are a special speaker to say the least for many reasons. I moved to the Quatro's and won't look back. I have heard most of the speakers in this ... | |
| Audioquest Firebird Zero I'm talking about only the copper versions. The Hood/silver are better (smoother, dynamics, detail etc) than my copper Tell's. The Tell vs Hood offer the same things over the Hood's. You have to really look at the price difference and your equi... | |
| Subwoofers and Phase Question For You Sub Experts The other things I love about the Vandersteen approach to subs is the way he his amps/x overs mimic the sound of the main amp. If you spend money on a very expensive amp, his sub amps (AB type) mimic the sound so you don't have that fight either.... | |
| Subwoofers and Phase Question For You Sub Experts Thanks Duke. I spoke with Richard Vandersteen about your thoughts and he totally agrees. I have a difficult room and I upgrade to the Vandy Quatro's over my older Treo's (gdrbob purchased them and uses a sub). Being able to address the bass in t... | |
| Speaker return or sell As New Return makes the most sense. I would also save for an upgrade to your electronics. I'm assuming you have the VX SA3 with the build in DAC. Eventually you will want a better integrated amp and a better DAC. Cables are usually the last thing to ... | |
| Vandersteen's new affordable mono blocks at the CES 18 happy for you. Can't wait to hear your thoughts once burned in etc... They get even better once you hit 500 hours. I'm sure you will love them for a very long time. | |
| Why does bi-amping speakers sound better? intersting. Thanks for sharing. There are so many ways to set things up. It all comes down to personal tastes (as it always does) and how speakers are designed. This is why I always ask whatever designer made my speakers, what they recommend a... | |
| Heard the Computer Audio Design GC1 Thanks for sharing. yes, it's an amazing product. Scott is a genius. I'm glad that Rutan turned us onto this device. It's a MUST get. I'm calling him in the morning to set up the purchase. Just one of those rare devices that work. | |
| Vandersteen's new affordable mono blocks at the CES 18 What color did you go with? I ended up going with Audi Havana black however in hindsight I think I would’ve done one of the cool Bentley Crimson colors in a really cool pearl | |
| Heard the Computer Audio Design GC1 That really was an eye opener wasn't it? I'm about to pull the trigger on getting one. It's been the best under 2k tweak I've ever heard. You can use one on each server, DAC and preamp.The recommend using one on the earth to the system/power co... | |
| Vandersteen's new affordable mono blocks at the CES 18 Thanks for sharing. All very interesting. I got to hear the Kento/M5-HP combo at Audio Connection. I was blown away. Just an amazing speaker for the price. It truly is CLOSE to the 7's and the amps are close to the M7-HP's. It's really an am... | |
| No binding post a good idea? What are the measurements that say your's is best? That's quite a bold statement. I know a few designers who have actually sat down and listened to many different binding posts, terminals etc.. They have hard wired as their reference. A couple... | |
| Heard the Computer Audio Design GC1 Yes, I use a special deal for that also. |
